Mitochondria, Reactive Oxygen Species and Apoptosis / 生物化学与生物物理进展

Mitochondria are involved not only in energy metabolism but also in free radical metabolism. Superoxide anion can be generated through a way of electron leak of respiratory chain and the reactive oxygen species (ROS ) can be formed in the further reactions of O2* in mitochondria. The role of mitochondria in anti-oxidant functions and cell apoptosis is discu ssed in terms of electron leak of respiratory chain, uncoupling of oxidative pho sphorelation, mitochondrial pore, Box- or/and PTP-mediated release of cytochro me c from mitochondria and so on. The signaling act of ROS is emphasized in the regulation of cell apoptosis.

Self-care prediction at discharge of inpatients with first-ever cerebral infarction / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Aim:To predict ability of self-care at discharge of inpatients with first-ever cerebral infarction. Method: 346 stroke patients with first-ever cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital were analyzed,male 187,female 159,the average age was 63. 90± 11. 40 years and the average length of stay 36. 53±27.03days. Patients were divided into two groups, self-care and non self-care according to discharged outcome.Nineteen factors were selected from casenote and reports of laboratory and special exam such as EKG,CT or/and MRI. All material were analyzed (t test and X2 test,multiple regression). Result:The age in single factor analysis (P<0. 01)and six factors in regression analysis were significant differences in predicting discharged outcome between two groups. Conclusion:Main factors to predict the ability of self-care at discharge of inpatients were infarction of 1eft brain, large area, multiple focus, and accepted aphasia, arrhythmia as well as hemipareses, This research could be used for clinician to set a discharge plan and a guideline to select patients in early rehabilitation programs.

Outcome Prediction of Inpatients with First Heamorrhagic Apoplexy / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Ninety- five cases(49 male .46 female)with first heamorrhagic cerebral apoplexy. fromOct.1 . 1992 to Dec.31 .1993. were analyzed.The Average age was58.9. Patients were divided intotwo groups. the self care and the non- self care. Ninteen variables which were supposed likely to be relatedto functional outcome were chosed from the admitted record of each patient and analyzed with mutltiple lo-gistic regression. Results showed that the major predictors of poor outcome are coma. incontinent and hemi-plegia at onset and abnormal blood urea nitrogen. pulmonary infection and bleeding amount more than 3 0ml at admitted.Cases older than 70 years.high blood presure longer than 20 years have a tendency of moredependence in functional abilities.Factors that do not predict outcome after heamorrhagic stroke are sex.days in the hospital,cormorbidities. as well as level of blood surgar and cholestral.EKG changes at admitted time.

Production of nitric oxide and change of nitric Oxide synthase activity in brains mitochondria of the rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM and METHOD:To determine the production of nitric oxide(NO) and change of NO synthase(NOS) activity in mitochondria isolated from the rat brains of the ischemia/reperfusion rat model produced by transient occlusion of middle cerebral artery on the following the points: 2 h after occlusion of artery and 30 min, 2h, 4h after reperfusion. RESULTS: After the occlusion of middle cerebral artery, the respiratory control rate(RCR) of mitochondria significantly decreased and slightly increased at 4h after reperfusion. Meantime, the production of NO in mitochondria increased significantly. But with the increase of perfusion, production of NO gradually decreased and reached normal level as in the control group. It also shows that cerebral ischemia increased NOS's activity significantly in the mitochondria and still kept a higher level than the control group although it decreased gradually after reperfusion. But the iNOS's activity did not show obvious change. The change of total NOS's activity depends on the change of cNOS's activity. CONCLUSION: The activation of NO/NOS system in the mitochondria might play an important role in the reperfusion injury during reperfusion of ischemic brain.
